Greetings!
OK, let's expand on the first scenario.
When a police officer approaches you he intends to establish his authority/jurisdiction over you via your own consent. If he asks you a question and you answer it you have just ceded jurisdiction to him. By fair-turn-about if you get him to answer a question first then you (technically) have gained jurisdiction (though you may find it difficult to maintain that situation...).
If you know your actions have been lawful and you see an agent approaching, you know he wants to talk 'policy enforcement'. The scenario presented suggests an idea on how to 'lock' them into constable/peacekeeper mode. Instead of ASKING if they are on oath you are PLACING them on oath - altogether different, and you have now 'contracted' them into dealing with you under common-law with video evidence to boot!
If they choose to stray into 'policy' business point out that you have already given them the only name they're entitled to ask for (and without ceding jurisdiction too!) and only consented to talk with 'constables', and if they are detaining you for 'policy' business then they are on a very sticky wicket leaving themselves wide open (video evidence!) to private prosecution (fraud, misrepresentation, abuse of office, kidnap etc).
Remember, if this is to work at all you MUST be filming the encounter - preferably streaming - and if you don't have a camera you might wish to use slightly different tactics.
Oh, and maybe leave out the 'Sympathy for the Devil' smart-arsery - you might accidentally slip in a 'woo-wooo' at the wrong moment....
Cheers!
